Mon, 07 Mar 2016 18:05:58 +0000http://hmmlorientalia.wordpress.com/?p=1348#comment-2432to my mind, Littmann’s greatest publication to my mind was the monumental Deutsche Aksum-Expedition… I devoured these volumes while living in Eritrea (then part of Ethiopia) & participating in excavations at Matara, Yeha, & Aksum, all first explored by the German expedition decades earlier… I have posted a couple of articles about those sites on my blog…

Athanasius is indeed one of the little known monastic authors. The fragments you came across most likely come from his extensive monastic treatise the oldest copy of which was in the Catholic Church of Mar Tuma in Mosul (and now apparently elsewhere).

Not quite sure if this is relevant, but I thought it might be interesting to share a Slavonic parallel to the Georgian and Armenian excerpts. This is from the Uspenskij Sbornik (the so-called Book of the Dormition Cathedral), 12th cent., from the diplomatic edition of S. I. Kotkov, Moscow 1971, fol. 95b, with a rough English translation (English is not my native language):

This man was from the Dog-Heads, from the land of the Man-Eaters. He was faithful in his spirit, learning/training himself in the words of God in his thought, for he was not able to speak in our thought and language. and [when] the blessed one saw the distress being [inflicted] on Christians, he was in deep sorrow.
